Choose a QR edition

Use only the QR capability you need.

Choose Edition 1.0 when you only want to scan addresses. Choose Edition 1.2 when you also need QR support for lists, private keys, offline signing, or signed transactions.

Simple address scanning

QR Edition 1.0

Uses QR codes for approved individual BSV address fields. Structured lists, private keys, signing packages, and signed transactions stay outside its QR reader.

Choose this edition when

  • You want to scan an address instead of typing it
  • You are making straightforward address-based payments
  • You prefer a smaller set of QR actions and review decisions
  • Your policy allows public addresses, but not keys or transaction packages, in QR codes

Expanded payment and signing QR

QR Edition 1.2

Adds validated QR handling for more detailed payment and signing information, including multipart transfers when one QR image is not enough.

Choose this edition when

  • You need address, payment, or spendable-coin lists by QR
  • You use payment requests containing a destination and suggested details
  • You need private-key QR entry on a trusted device
  • You use offline signing packages or return signed transactions by QR
Both are active Public Preview releases.

Edition 1.0 has a narrower QR surface and is easier to understand when advanced QR operations are unnecessary. Edition 1.2 can reduce manual transfer mistakes in complex workflows through structured validation, checksums, and explicit review. Neither edition removes the ordinary risks of private-key handling, signing, or sending an irreversible transaction to the network.
